Tallboy Tallison Texeira gonna be a problem for his division

[2004 account]

He showed speed from a hw that ive only ever seen in very few like aspinall, gane and Fedor.

 

[Xanzito]

Brazilian Cyril Gane looked good from what little we saw. Let him beat Austin Lane ass to get some more experience

TEMU Cyril Gane

 

[Hdfi]

looks like a promising prospect.

I hope they don't fast track him, he's only 25.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Justin Tafa is not Mini Mark Hunt and how can you tell he's going to be a problem off of basically 10 secs of 1 way traffic?

i'd wait to see how he reacts to getting hit before i put any kind of stamp of "being a problem" on this guy. many guys look great at HW and then crumbled by the first contact.

 

[Kevlar44]

He showed speed from a hw that ive only ever seen in very few like aspinall, gane and Fedor.

And a willingness to be extremely violent without hesitation. Looks legit.

 

[Spath]

that headkick was scary fast and a perfect elbow, seems like a legit good HW, only 5 of those right now(Aspinall, Jones, Volkov, Blaydes, Almeida)

Set the elbow up with a sharp knee to the body (solar plexus?). That was some good quick clinch work!

The head kick whipped up there in a flash. Impressed by his performance, I hope we’ll see more of him soon

 

[DalchaLungiambula]

Despaigne was also 6'7. Put Tallison on his back he's probably just as pitiful

He's been doing BJJ for 18 years and is a black belt.

That is a long way off from Despaigne who had 6 months of grappling experience

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Yeah the goat of the sport, undefeated for 20 years, also a complete sociopath, is ducking a random guy who is 1-1 with curtis blaydes

Don’t act like Jon would fight Curtis either. Yes, he is ducking the interim champ. Period.

Also, he got injured then came back and absolutely smoked Curtis. It’s not like he lost due to not being as good as him. What a stupid post.

 

[djason1988]

People already saying he's all hype, but even putting aside his competition, he's freakishly quick for his size. The fact that he tried to shoot too means he at least has some confidence in his ground game.

People give almost 38 year old Jones shit for ducking a guy way younger than him, that's also way naturally bigger, but then excuse Khabib for ducking GSP that is way older and inactive and basically the same size.

If Jones were like Khabib he'd literally call out Aspinall on the mic post fight, but then say he'll only do it if Aspinall cuts to LHW...but that still wouldn't be as bad as what Khabib did because Jones is the older fighter in this scenario at least.

 

[Siver!]

The only thing I ask from intriguing prospects who blast a guy in no time is...

... GIVE US A QUICK TURNAROUND.

More data required, we've seen massive heavyweights get hyped before then immediately implode against a different style of fighter, so let's not give ourselves time to get carried away. Get the big man back in there STAT!

 

[Streeter]

He got all the tools to be great . All depends on his mentality n drive now.. if this kids focused n really wants it I dint see anyone beating him in 2-3 years but he needs to clean up alot of things but the God given stuff is there.

A 25 year old man is not a "kid". And he should be focused given that there will be many more capable opponents in his near future. And they should keep him active. Looking at the UFC heavyweight rankings I would already have him fight one of these guys:

8	Marcin Tybura
9	Derrick Lewis	Rank increased by 1
10	Tai Tuivasa	Rank increased by 1
11	Shamil Gaziev	Rank increased by 3
12	Waldo Cortes Acosta	Rank increased by 1
13	Mick Parkin	Rank increased by 2
14	Don'Tale Mayes	NR
15	Jhonata Diniz

Jones is GOAT, Khabib isnt top-10, why even compare them? Its like comparing Jordan vs Brandon Roy

A 25 year old man is not a "kid"

Not always but most times Yeah it is. It's only when you become older you realize it .

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Ooooh, the next HW hypetrain?!

 

[colorles]

Not always but most times Yeah it is. It's only when you become older you realize it .

Are you talking mentally, physically, or both? Physically there is no argument: a 25 year old is a grown man in his physical prime and arguably even leaving it. And mentally? this is debatable because yeah men can get wiser with age (some men) but if you have even average intelligence and a half way decent upbringing, you are mentally a man by the time you are a teenager.

 

[icemun]

Fluke injury. Picking a 40 year old washed up fighter over the interim champ is ducking 101 bruh.

Newbies just dont realize

Aspiral was unranked when Jones Stipe was signed.

Never even appeared on a PPV.

Jones was supposed to challenge some unknown unranked after becoming champ
